Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney distanced himself from the recent transfer rumours by jetting to Portugal with his family.

The England international is currently nursing a hamstring injury, which forced him out of the Red Devils' pre-season tour under new manager David Moyes.

Despite suggestions that Rooney could be playing for a new club during the 2013-14 campaign, the striker looked relaxed on a beach in Portugal with his wife Coleen and sons Kai and Klay.

Rooney is expected to return to action in a pre-season friendly in Stockholm next week.
